today was a local holiday...pero di uso sa ibank and local holiday kaya naman open pa din kami to service the clients..syempre naman "we will be the epitome of service excellence in our chosen field, as we seize every challenge to make a difference for you." sa totoo lang--wala naman kami ginawa sa office...kalokohan ang pagpasok!

but since we didn't have school today too, i took advantage of the free time and played badminton with people from the ofc and clients. it was so fun--and it was a great break from all the studying...

i found the following at the grocery....

it's so nice to see magnolia chocolait back in the stores....for chocnut lovers, choco peanut ice cream flavor is a must...i love sunflower strawberry...

i grew up with her...she was like a sister too...i saw how hard she has worked for anything she wanted...she has the determination i sometimes wish i had...i saw her happy and sad...i remember the time someone called her here in the house and said that he was a sikret ad-mi-rer (that is how it is to be pronounced, bisaya ata e)...it made me sad when she moved out of the house already...was uberly happy when she passed the nursing board exams with flying colors...she supported me with anything...she loves my family as if it was her own...and i love her family too...but im happy again with what she has recently achieved.

Today the results for the physician licensure came out and she made it! Congratulations ate issang for i know that you really,really deserve it. i know how hard you have worked for this and that this is what you have really wanted. so proud of you MA. LARISSA M. HALILI, M.D.

i was planning to study....but i didn't. mama san, wanted to go to quaipo to buy amboy's costume for the linggo ng wika program in school--so to quiapo we went. it was my first time to go to quiapo. when i say go is to really go around. i usually passby quaipo if we have to go to the airport, pier, roxas blvd or intramuros. but today was my first time to walk on the underpass, to see the quiapo church and to go inside the tiangge areas. i had fun!!!

i bought a blouse for only 160.00 (ha! what a bargain, i just hope it wont shrink after it has been washed) and santol bacolod, 3 for 20.00...ang sarap!

im stressed...harassed....so i had a haircut! =) had fun at the salon with officemates. buti na lang my classes were at 7pm pa....

in one of our unit test in pharmacology, number 11 question was:

All of the following are not included in the nursing interventions of a client who undergone anesthesia

a. monitor the patient's post-op state of sensorium
b. monitor weight of the patient pre and post-op
c. check the client for skin rashes
d. observed the client for withdrawal syndrome.

our teacher forgot the word EXCEPT so she just told us while taking the exam "class, number 11 except ha!"

next meeting our teacher returned the test papers and when she gave the test paper of one of my classmates, she asked "why didn't you answer number 11 of test one?" classmate replied "ma'am sabi mo except!"

Thank God for weekends, when not only me but most of us (not all since others have to go to work on weekends) have the chance to rest, recharge the almost drained if not totally drained batteries of our body and to do the things you have wanted to do over the "crazy week" but couldn't since 24 hours a day seem to be so short.

Work is fine...bosses in the office have talked me into extending what was suppose to be a 6 months training to an additional 3 months. I hated the idea since i know i am not a "service " person but a "sales" person, but since an office mate is to give birth anytime i have no choice but to say yes. So i am still doing the service work until the office mate goes back to work from the maternity leave.

I never thought nursing school would be this busy and demanding. So many things to memorize and remember--and to think im only in my first semester. I have been actually thinking if this is really what i want--if im really cut for the nursing profession....

My Daily Prayer

God grant me the serenityto accept the things I cannot change;courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;Enjoying one moment at a time;Accepting hardships as thepathway to peace;Taking, as He did, this sinful worldas it is, not as I would have it;Trusting that He will make all thingsright if I surrender to His Will;That I may be reasonably happyin this life and supremelyhappy with Him Forever.Amen.
